Reflections on 2025

Asides from 2025 being a but of a dumpster fire in general, there were good things that happened too.... and I am choosing to focus on that.

Good things included travels, time with family and friends, a good work opportunity,  good laughs and awesome memories. Hoping for the same in 2026 and wishing you all the very best in the new year!

We are in Sweden for the holidays (that will be another post- just warning you all) so looking forward to spending the evening with our boys and some of Andreas' childhood friends. Still jetlagged but feeling optimistic that we will make it to midnight. 

See you on the other side!

Lots of love from our family to yours xx

Excitement for Swedish boys

Last weekend (I know... I am a slacker and totally late in posting this), Andreas, Alexander and Nicklas all went to see the Montreal Impact soccer team play against the LA Galaxy. The biggest reason why they wanted to see the game was that the famous Swedish player Zlatan Ibrahimovic (see here if you have no idea who he is) was playing. Pretty exciting.... Even more exciting was that the boys (including Andreas) got to be a part of the pre-game show and ending up being just meters away from Zlatan (can you become cool through osmosis? 😉) ! Although Zlatan ended up getting red carded, the boys were all pretty impressed and had a good Swedish boy bonding day. Sorry, Impact, usually you get our support but, on this day, it was all about Zlatan 😉

Last evening

Tomorrow, we head back to Montreal. We spent the last evening with my sister in law and her family... It was a lovely ending to a great trip <3

See you on the other side of the Atlantic ;)

Postcard from Gullholmen

Today, we took the boys to Gullholmen, which is an island in the Swedish Western Archipelago (see here- sorry! It is only in Swedish but Google translate works well.) Admittedly, I knew that it would not be the boys' first choice of destinations but Andreas and I really wanted to go. Having said that, when we walked over to the ocean side of the island, there was TONS of wind and rocks to climb over so the fun started...... and so did my concern over having to visit the local emergency ward ;)

So here is the usual Swedish photo spam... hope you enjoy... we did :)
